Bug#940586: ghostscript: Please add gpcl in addition to gs
Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.26a~dfsg-0+deb9u5
Severity: wishlist
Please add gpcl as package to Debian, probably as backport available for oder
releases, too. Building gpcl with the debian-directory from ghostscript yields
file overlaps, because of files both programs use. Diversions could be a
solution.
Maybe it could be a better idea to split gs into ghostscript-common and
ghostscript-gs-bin and ghostscript-gpcl-bin to prevent unnecessary disk space
allocation through duplicate files.
